Win #7...IN A ROW

A peek inside Big Blue's Campaign Headquarters

Its official, Big Blue is 7-0, and still tied in record with Paydirt Pete, but unfortunately is no longer holding the total vote lead. Don’t worry ODU is still number one, with more votes than UTEP. Monte of Montana was in a heated match-up last week against the Duck of Oregon bringing both of their voting totals to over 150,000. This brought Monte to an overall lead that is just over 7,000 more than Big Blue. Though Monte took our vote lead, he gave the Duck another loss, bringing them both to a record of 5-2. Big Blue goes up against the Duck next week, so with Monte giving the Duck another loss, Big Blue will have more of an advantage.  

Homecoming:

This week Old Dominion is partaking in homecoming festivities including a FOOTBALL game on Saturday. The Monarchs will be up against future CAA competitor Georgia State. The Panthers are a first year start up, joining the CAA in 2012, and I know that the Monarchs are excited play a future foe. Saturday also plays host to the annual Blue/White Scrimmage game between the Men’s Basketball team. Big Blue will be at each of these events and judging for his Monarch pride, I know he cannot wait for this weekend.

Old Dominion is also playing host to a big homecoming concert on Thursday. Ke$ha, 3OH!3, and Hellogoodbye will be performing on the campus of Old Dominion, and tickets are just $15 for students and $25 for the general public. Shall I pose a question? Will they be in support of Big Blue and his quest to being the Capital One Mascot of the Year? You can help make that happen by posting on your twitter and facebook, tagging those artists, letting them know that Big Blue needs their votes.

Week 7:

With just 65,962 votes Big Blue was able to defeat the Bearcat of Cincinnati. The Bearcat only accumulated 26,334 votes making this win just another mark in the W column. Monarch fans have proven that it doesn’t take a tough competitor to get high vote totals, they just like voting! Big Blue’s followers vote in class, while doing homework, during workouts, and even in their sleep…wait a minute, BIG BLUE’S fans DON’T SLEEP, THEY VOTE!!!

Week 8:

Smokey of the University of Tennessee could pose a threat to Big Blue’s undefeated record, being able to put up big numbers late in the match-up with just 3,000 more students than ODU. Smokey started off the competition strong with a win against Miami, but had a win taken away in week two (vs the Duck) because of voting suspicions. Tennessee would have been 3-0 going into week 4, but because of this they were 2-1, and are currently 4-3. So VOTE NOW & VOTE OFTEN!
